Tadich Grill

About this business

In a city where most restaurants have a lifespan of less than five years, it is heartening, if not surprising, to find such an old-timer. Politicians and business people have been coming here forever, buying each other martinis and waiting to be seated (no reservations are accepted). The seafood is fresh and fabulous and the decor is turn-of-the-last-century. The waitstaff is great, and it's not surprising--some of them have been here more than 30 years!

I arrived at Tadich for my first time last Saturday at 11:25am - 5 minutes before they opened. There was a line of people but I was te first person at the bar. Food; The veal picatta was good - not mind blowing but very good. It was a thick slab vs. thinly sliced and it was well-rare. Nice! The white wine caper sauce was excelent! This dish also inluded languini-like pasta with a red pepper/tomatoe sauce that was unbelievibly great! I also had the dungeness crab salad and it was HEAVEN! The staff was freindly and cheerfull a... read more

Disappointed – I visited the Tadish Grill on 09/02/05 for lunch; I was very disappointed with the quality of food. I order prawns with fresh tomatoes this dish was $18.00. I received 6 very over cooked tasteless prawns that were very small in size, and I received two slice of tomatoes on a bed of iceberg lettuce. I sent my meal back and ordered the pan-fried pacific snapper that was also disappointing. The fish had very little flavor. The best part of the meal was the sour dough bread.

Good soup! – The reason to go to Tadich is for their soup and salads! People rave about the Lobster Bisque and I love the Coney Island Chowder. To complete the meal add a Louie Salad with crab and shrimp. The service is always great! Perfect for a business lunch!

Not worth it – I read all of the reviews and looked forward to dinner here. Unfortunately the service was apathetic at best and the food only average. What killed this place was the service: the wait staff was rude, curt and unattentive. There are a million better places to eat in SF.

The Coolest Tourist's Review of the Tadich Grill – I'm currently on a trip in San Francisco with my parents, sister, grandmother and cousin from my father's side of the family. My mom is a reservation freak and although she had already made a reservation at another restaurant, my grandma and my dad said, "OH WE'RE GOING TO THE TADICH GRILL!" So we went, all of us tired from a long day touring SF, and I must say that the wait at the Tadich Grill is rather long. But once you get inside the wood-panelled restaurant, you're surr... read more

Great Cioppino, Seafood, and Steak – Took my parents for their "last meal" while visiting SF. We arrived around 5:45 and waited for about 30 min: no reservations are accepted. One can avoid the wait by eating at the bar. My Dad really wanted to try cioppino, the SF fish stew with everything in it: he said it was excellent, a huge portion, very fresh seafood and complicated in taste. My mother had the house special sole in the wine/butter sauce: she too found the fish fresh and not too heavy. I had the steak with mushroom sau... read more

I Don't Know Why This Place is So Popular – The food here is decent, but hardly worth the hassle and the awful attitude of the staff. It amazes me that people put up with the headache to eat here.

Consistent, fine seafood. – Over the years, my husband and I have gone to Tadich's for lunch whenever we're in the Bay area. Recently, my son and I went on a weekday at prime lunch hour. It was packed with businessmen waiting in line, but we managed to find two seats at the bar. The waitress/bartender was swamped, but still managed to keep a close eye on us. The food, as always, was simply prepared and flavorful. The ambience is loud, but the tiled floor and wood panelling and bar create a special setting for a fine meal. We... read more
